My 97 silverado

.

Well got some updates on this breakage
Dropped off the rear end to get stronger leaf spring perches put on. Got my new driveshaft made and ready to go in then the biggest news. The truck will finally have fenders after 2 years I’m not too excited about the body lines not lining up but I can live with it

For the most part the rear bedsides are fully installed. I will eventually change the metal straps to tube. But for now it will work. I need to adjust and clean up the trim more around the taillights. Then slap a stock bumper back on. Not bad I don’t think though for being my first time doing fiberglass though.

Well got the rear back Saturday and back to driving the truck today! Between making the perches about 1/2 shorter and cutting the from spring mount for more clearance, it lowered the back of the truck a solid 3 inches . I’ve already lowered the front down another 2 inches but after driving it and getting it to settle a bit more I’m gonna bring the front down another inch. With the 2” wider bedsides it’s able to drive and not rub surprisingly. I know if I plan on using the truck as intended I will need to do larger inner wheel wells and pull the glass out a bit more. Honestly though for eyeballing all of the mounting points without the axle in place. It’s almost perfect.

Today was spent figuring out some sort of mounting and aligning for the front and also lowered the front down another inch. All I can say is damn this is exactly how I’ve pictured it in my head to look all of these years

That looks awesome!

^Agreed. I've always liked that pre-runner style. Looks so cool.

More pictures please

What’s up guys sorry for the late response. I have a few more night pics of this thing over the last month. I haven’t been focusing on the truck lately as I’ve been looking for work out here which is going horrible .

What’s up guys little life update and truck update. Well I finally went back to work late august with procomp suspension. I didn’t realize it’s been so long since I’ve updated this not much has really happened since my last post but over the last few weeks I decided to through a few bucks at the truck. I’m currently trying to save up to find a low mile loaded lbz to use for a daily.
But anyways over the last few weeks I finally put the front fenders on ordered some new headlight housings and put on a new set of beadlocks. Absolutely no need for those but I got them for a killer deal from a buddy that I could not pass up let me know what you guys think. I’m not to sure on the chrome center caps or the black wheels for that matter. Maybe with the next set of tires I’ll have these stripped down and polished
